What does the crust float on?
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
Which is thicker mantle or crust?
The crust is a thin outer layer. The mantle is much thicker.
What is the thin solid outermost layer above the mantle?
The thin solid outermost layer above the mantle is the crust, and the crust is the layer we live on.
What are the layers of the earth from thinnest to thickest?
From thick to thin: mantle, outer core, inner core, crust.
Why is mantle hotter and denser than the crust?
The mantle is closer to the molten core of earth, so it is constantly heated by it. The crust is exposed to the atmosphere, which has some cooling effect, and the crust is, of course farthest from the core.
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
Subduction occurs where the oceanic crust bends down towards the mantle at a?
deep ocean trench.
Does the mantle separate the crust and mantle?
No the Mantle seperates the crust and the outer core
What layers of earth makes up the lithosphere?
Crust and the upper mantle
What does the crust float on?

How is the earth's crust different from the mantle in three ways?
The mantle is under the earth crust and is made of mostly peridotite, which is a denser rock than that of the igneus, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks found in the crust. The crust ranges in temperature from 200 - 400 degrees Celsius the furthur towards the earths core one goes. The mantle however ranges in temperature from 500 - 900 degrees Celsius the furthur towards the earths core one goes. The mantle has two layers and upper layer and a lower layer; whereas the crust has only one layer.
The section of earth beneath the crust?
Mantle Is The Below Layer Of The Crust In Earth.
What is the coldest crust or the mantle?
The crust is much colder than the mantle.
Is the lithosphere in the mantle or crust?
uppermost part of the mantle and the crust together
What is crust and upper mantle of the EARTH?
The upper mantle is in between the lower mantle and the earths crust Crust- the outer most solid shell of the earth. The Uppermost mantle and the earth's crust form the lithosphere.
What are the zone between core and crust?
The chemical layer of the Earth known as the mantle lies between the crust and the core.
